I've seen a lot of removable packs for pc's. I have an od pc and can't find a removable one. Is it possible/reasonable easy to just attach a small molle backpack? Thx Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I was just experimenting with this today, as a matter of fact.
I picked up a set of T-straps from Redcat tactical on eBay. Basically a length of webbing with a SRB in the middle, and a reinforced "T" at each end. You feed the loose webbing through a free column of PALS. One side of the t-strap goes on the pack, one side on your plate carrier. It works fairly well, able to attach/detatch a USGI assault pack reasonably quickly. It's way less complicated than it sounds: I'll try to get some pics up. |

I have the TT Operator pack and a Banshee PC.
I don't like the TT backpack, construction is good but there isn't a defined bladder pouch and its about 4" too long overall. Raf has the right idea with a separate backpack as it doesn't make the PC ride up into your neck as bad either. |

Check out our gRUNT backpack. It has MOLLE or shoulder straps. I'm wearing it here and I'm getting in and out of birds more than I want to.
My other thoughts would be the EAGLE Yote, First Spear ECP or something from Mystery Ranch with their BVS. I have been wearing a pack with Armor since we started getting issued armor regularly and I haven't found the PERFECT system yet. Shoulder straps cut into you after a while, Fastex clips are annoying when you need to don the Pack quickly, MOLLE - well now you're stuck with that pack and your buddy has grab items from it. SOS EDIT - my gRUNT is attached with our LIK, but modified to be male to female instead of female to male. |

I've never been comfortable with a pack attached to my armor, just my opinion. Even though it's less comfortable to have a real pack, it's something I can don and doff quicker from what I've done than attached packs.
A lot of the time I've used a large over the shoulder slung Maxpedition bag for short term walking around goodies or an old satchel charge bag for even shorter term. |

I had an aid bag (TSSI M9) that I attached with clips. I could don and doff it rather quickly, and it was far more comfortable than with shoulder straps. I could probably have put it on with the two top clips faster than putting shoulder straps on when wearing armor. It would have been close. |
